Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino was distinctly unimpressed by the video that emerged of Dele Alli and Ross Barkley in the week.

The video emerged in the week of the England stars appearing to be in a dispute with employees at the desk of The May Fair hotel in London. The video was accompanied by a commentary from someone filming the incident on their phone in which they laid into the two midfielders from afar, also claiming that the incident was taking place at 5am.

Fans have come out in support for the duo in the aftermath and the video images do not show anything untoward taking place, other than disputing something at the hotel reception.

Pochettino was more concerned with the need for someone to film the moment in the first place when asked about the video at his press conference on Thursday.

"I saw it, I saw the video. Nothing wrong, nothing wrong. We create a problem when there's not a problem. I defend and back the player in that situation," he said.

"It's a video. Today that is completely unfair. It's difficult to understand the people doing that. I back them, Dele and Ross Barkley. For me it's not a point to discuss. For me no comment. I think it's nothing that we need to talk about."
